David Cameron shares a flight with Boris Johnson but the conversation soon
becomes awkward.

After they both attended the funeral in Manchester of Fusilier Lee Rigby, who was murdered by terrorists, David Cameron offered Boris Johnson a lift back to London in his helicopter. The Conservative Mayor of London gratefully accepted, but the in-flight conversation became a little awkward at times.

Boris did not appear amused and made an incomprehensible noise.
